Courtney and I are gonna be on a sled together. We each stand beside each other at the back of the sled, she balances on one runner and I balance on the other runner. We are supposed to place our hand across one another's on the sled handle when we are riding for a better grip and balance.

The dogs are lined up on their team leads and are jumping and barking and pulling on the sled. Once we are ready to go I am supposed to unsnap the metal catch on the rope that is holding the sled to the tree. Court and I are second in line after Jeff's sled. Jeff yells back at us through the barking dogs and furious snow "Let's go!! We've gotta get out of here!!!!
